  • Ford Focus 1.6tdci - Ford Focus 1.6tdci oil level increasing 11 Feb 2015 (Forum)
    dropped off also. I've had the dpf replaced 4 months ago. This problem only really started after the dpf was replaced; I read somewhere that the engine could be constantly trying to regerate the dpf? Does the engine oil lubricate the fuel pump? Could there be a leaking seal
  • Ford Focus - Engine Smoke after Forced Regen - 1.6TDci 4 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    I had a frorced Regen on my Focus yesterday along with a DPF replenish, after the EGR valve was replaced. The Garage warned me that the PAT fluid pump was pumping too much fulid into the car, as a result of a dodgy repair done on the car before I purchased it. This resulted
  • Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI - Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI 55p Plate DPF Refil 2 May 2012 (Forum)
    I have an error code og P2584 or simular which when I checked tells me that the DPF need regeneration. I am tempted to do this myself as ford charge a whopping £210 for this. I can get the JLN fluid for £40 of ebay. However the more I read the less sure I am, I have also readd
  • Anti diesel hype exaggerated? 8 Jun 2017 (Forum)
    regularly, then the possibility of AdBlue heater, DPF and EGR failures if not straight away, in the future. Those are the reasons I'd be wary of diesel. Not so economical when you have to spend £2,000 - £4,000 replacing emissions equipment after 3 - 4 year" Now I accept that EGR and DPF
  • Mazda 6 2007 Diesel - DPF regen failure/air mass sensor link? 4 Nov 2016 (Forum)
    For about six months the car has, I think, had two simultaneous faults. 1) A failed DPF regen about 1000 miles after a filter replacement.  The car had covered about 1000 miles since the replacement and had done about 100 miles of steady motorway driving on the day

    I have a new shape Mazda 6 TS2 2.0d, which I bought new in late March 2008. It has done about 10,000 miles in that time, and in mid December the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) light came on. I read the handbook which said it needed a long high speed run to clear the filter. In the 3 weeks since
  • BMW 330d - Disabled EGR results in signifcant DPF mileage 24 Apr 2020 (Forum)
    of increased miles i get before the DPF becomes full of soot is outstanding, before the most i could get was around 300-320 miles before the soot quantity was c.26-28 grams (the point where mine tends to regen), now with the EGR disabled, i am well over 300 miles and the DPF is only at 10 grams of soot.

  • Ford Focus Estate 1.6 TDCI - Fumes inside car. In need of some clarification! 16 Nov 2017 (Forum)
    . He came to the conclusion that the issue was caused by two things: the fact that the EGR valve was stuck open plus the need for a DPF regen. So the EGR valve has now been changed and the fumes do seem a little reduced. But there's still a kind of smoky, sooty smell getting inside. There's

  • A very detailed explanation of how DPFs work 2 Jan 2012 (Forum)
    I found this information on the DPF systems fitted to the Jaguar 2.7 V6 diesels, it's incredibly detailed and covers issues including active & passive regenerations, oil dilution and more.  The general principles apply to any coated DPF system (i.e. ones that don't use a liquid catalyst

  • Engine fouls own nest - `food` goes into wrong end 29 Oct 2008 (Forum)
    During re-generation,with particulate filter equipped diesels, do injectors really blast fuel into the cylinders on the exhaust stroke, wetting bores and contaminating oil? Or is there a separate injector just upstream of the DPF? Is there a better engineering solution to cleaning a particulate

    looking for a diesel without DPF, and ideally with a chain cam drive and no DMF.  Something with reasonable grunt to replace the Leon which had 150hp standard and 175 after remapping. Is there any modern-ish diesel out there which doesn't have the DPF/DMF/cambelt hassles AND has proven

    There are always a lot of posts on here about the issues with modern diesels... Since i'm looking at a nearly new Diesel myself, I wanted to clarify these issues. Is it just the problem of the car not doing a long / fast enough journey to get hot enough to regenerate the DPF
